RE: Romney will speak at the airport around noon. Bambi will speak at a park at 3:00 PM.
I’m not getting the rationale for Romney’s venue. Who goes to an airport to listen to a politician speak (with planes flying around)? A Park makes more sense to me.
One positive side of the venue is more people may be able to attend.
Dubuque’s airport is a small regional one. The air traffic probably won’t be a major concern.
It makes perfect sense. Saving the candidates the 1hr of extra travel to/from a venue means he can fly to the next event fast. He will probably be in 3-4 states each day now to election day - PA, OH, MI WI, IA, CO, NV and maybe VA and FL (although both look good for ROmney).
These are not international airports. These are good enough for some events and to get into the local media/news cycles.
